Ard' Boyz Approaches!! Maddox...scourge of Fenris...Returns!!

With short notice approval from "She who must be appeased" it looks like I will make it to the Ard Boyz at my local game store (LGS) for the August 13, 2011 tournament.

My theme for all of this year has been to take non-standard/non-optimal lists and really make an effort to play fun/challenging games.

Thus far this has been very successful. I have had more fun and the feedback from my opponents is in the same vein as my goal.

With that in mind, I threw three Chaos Marine lists together over my morning coffee and work emails that incorporates either past lists or a bit of a theme.

Here is what I came up with......

First of all, I am aware these lists are "Sufficiently Underpowered for Competition" or "SUC"; since the Internet likes acronyms so much ;)

List #1 or "Holy Chaoszilla Batman!":

DP: Wings, MoN, Warp Time : 175

DP: Wings, MoN, Warp Time : 175

GD: 100

Zerks: 8, PF, Rhino: 243

Zerks: 8, Pwr Wpn, melta bomb, Rhino: 238

Zerks: 8, PF, : 208

Zerks: 8, Pwr Wpn: 198

LR: Dem Poss : 240

LR: Dem Poss : 240

Oblits: 3 : 225

Dred: CC Arm, Hvy Flmr: 105

Dred: CC Arm, Hvy Flmr: 105

Chosen: 8, icon, 3mg, 2 flmr, PF, Rhino: 264

2498

What I like about this list:

It is pretty much ready to go. I need to attach wings to a DP and Convert two Dred CC Arms.

It is an in your face list. Tactics are very simple, meaning I can concentrate on hanging out, taking pictures, and seeing stuff blow up.

Game wise you will kill it all or it will kill you. Lack of subtlety is a good thing at times!

The Chosen are included as Outflank is in two, maybe three missions depending on LGS.

The Chosen are also there to chase down the pesky traitor in Game 1 and make back line armies sweat just a little.

List #2: The return of MADDOX...scourge of the Space Wolves!!

Maddox (Abaddon) : 275

7 Thousand Sons, + 1 Sorc, wind of Chaos, Havoc Rhino: 286

7 Thousand Sons, +1 Sorc,Wind of Chaos, Havoc Rhino: 286

LR: Demonic Possession : 240

LR: Demonic Possession: 240

Obliterators: 3: 225

Zerks: 8, PF, Rhino, combi melta: 253

Zerks: 8, PF : 208

Zerks : 9, Pwr Wpn : 219

Kharn : 165

GD : 100

2497

What I like about this list:

It is based on a 1500pt list I took to a tournament last year and actually went 2/1/0 with. The core consisted of two squads of Tson with Gift of Chaos, Abaddon, 2 LR's and two dreds (Lefty and Righty).

The list development, practice games, and tournament batrep can be found:HERE!!

Maddox is a reference to the Black Library novels that pit the Ragnar story line Space Wolves versus the evil Thousand Sons. Maddox was the head sorcerer holding the spear of Russ and attempting to trans locate the planet of Fenris into the warp!! While holding the spear of Russ, Maddox had mad skills...hence the counts as Abaddon.

Also, this list requires nothing but boxing it up! This one may win out as real world stuff like crazy work duties may prove the deciding factor. If anyone knows about JAYCO, CARF, or CHAPS accreditation... you know my pain!

It has two nasty HQ's to either own face or face palm...gotta love that in any tournament setting!

List #3 or "I think I am all tactical and stuff!" :

Slaanesh Sorcerer : 125

Slaanesh Sorcerer, icon: 130

PM: 5 , 2mg, Havok Rhino : 185

PM: 5 , 2mg, Havok Rhino : 185

PM: 5 , 2mg, Havok Rhino : 185

PM: 6, 2Flmr, AC w/combi flmr : 173

Slaanesh CSM: 5, Blast Master, Doom Siren, Havoc Rhino : 220

Slaanesh CSM: 5, Blast Master, Doom Siren, Havoc Rhino : 220

Havocs: 5, 2 Auto Cannon, 2 Flmr, Havoc Rhino : 175

Havocs: 5, 4 Plasma Gun, Havoc Rhino : 185

3 Oblits : 225

Terminators: 3, Reaper Auto cannon, 2 combi-plas, PF : 135

W/Land Raider : 220

Terminators: 3, Reaper Auto cannon, 2 combi-plas, PF : 135

2498

What I like about the list:

Well, it requires the most last minute work...so would get me to build a few more melta guns! (It will requires … 3-5mg conversions, BM Slaanesh Marine built, and 2 Terminators built)

This list is built to give me the most tactical options with the models I have combined with Chaos codex rule set.

There are no hammer units, hence no targets to cause me to get hamstrung if taken out early.

There are multiple ways for the dice gods to pay me back for all my years of worship!

Introduction and Mission Statement

My name is Dan Eaton. I became interested in Warhammer 40k upon inheriting books and models from my deceased younger brother. He was 11 years younger than I and I was more a father than older brother. Warhammer 40k helps keep him in my thoughts and prayers. My first army was Orks circa third edition.

My mission for blogging is to represent the hobby in a positive way and share my enjoyment and experiences with others.

I will also post additional non 40k topics as the mood suits me.

Thanks for the read,
BDS
